| Would anyone know where I can buy a replacement for this transformer that gave out after only a few months of use? I can't find anything online. This connects to an outdoor lighting set. Thanks!

| You can find lots of transformers that will work. Most are going to be larger than you need (read more expensive). Here's one but it's still $60 .. http://totaltransformers.com/ac-output-magnetic-10w-12v-led-transforme r-driver-1.html Google: outdoor transformer 12V 10W |

| It is more than just a transformer. Transformers are AC in and AC out. It has at least a rectifier of some type on the output, and possibly some filter capacitors. |

| Agreed...but the industry does refer to them as transformers none the less, power supply would be a better term. |

| i think i am a little over my head. Not sure what you guys mean by AC in and out. Also, does the transformer you sent have the same connection as the one i am replacing? thanks for all the insight |
